I understood when launching my countdown of favorite 80s songs occasions will rise where those following will fire up their laptop or cell phones, see my latest entry and immediately think “fucking seriously”? I’m willing to bet this one of them. I have a very close buddy who married roughly four years ago and (amazingly) … Read More
Oh, just your Thursday morning Buffalo sports bombshell. At approximately 10am this morning and seemingly out of nowhere the Buffalo Sabres sent out a Tweet, announcing the organization has fired both Head Coach Dan Blysma and General Manager Tim Murray. “After reviewing the past season and looking to the future of the organization, Kim and … Read More
For no particular rhyme or reason other than being fun for me to do and hopefully you to read, I’ve decided to occasionally recap old WWE Monday Night Raw shows (Smackdown will be a future project). At least for me, it’s cool to recreate many Monday nights I evidently didn’t recall as easily as I … Read More
“Only in my Dreams” is neck and neck with “Foolish Beat” for the honor of being my favorite Debbie Gibson song, and the latter narrowly wins. Don’t get me wrong— “Only in my Dreams” is great. But man, for me “Foolish Beat” was the goods. I wasn’t ashamed as a high schooler nor am I … Read More
Please, save it. Save informing me NFL running backs, particularly non-starters are a dime per dozen. Save advising me that no second string ball carrier is worth $3 million-plus per season. Save reminiscing when Buffalo Bills fans thought the sky was falling post-Karlos Williams before being supplanted effectively by Mike Gillislee. Save revealing Gillislee as … Read More
Look, I can liter my countdown with Madonna songs and hardly anyone would protest. She’s music royalty and it began in the 80s. Here’s a spoiler —you’ve already seen Madonna prior to this entry and it won’t be the last time either, not by a longshot. I can give you intelligent culturally –charged, enlightened explanations … Read More
I loved this song so much more before June 10, 2007. Don’t get me wrong, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” was hardly an underground cult sensation when the band first released off their Escape album in 1981. The song cracked the Billboard top ten and was popular. But not that popular. It was always an anthem … Read More
One of my best friends, a Yankee fanatic begins each season with a simple Facebook status that reads “162-0” in honor of his favorite team finishing the regular season undefeated. With each corresponding Yankee loss that figure adds one to the right side. After the first give games, his status read “158-4”. The way things … Read More
If citizens of the United States thought they’d seen the last of Selina Meyer in office, they have another thing coming—at least in her falsified mind. Time-hopped one year ahead of this past season five finale that saw Meyer defeated by Laura Montez in the Presidential vote by the House of Representatives, Meyer proclaims (solely … Read More
If you’re not into processing the lyrics and (understandably) absorbed in the catchy beats of the drum, you wouldn’t recognize “Heat of the Moment” is fundamentally a 3-minute, 50-second apology—a damn good one at that. The band’s lead vocalist and bass player, John Wetton said so himself. In a 2014 interview with Songfacts.com Wetton said … Read More
